Love yes, but i just didnt want the mag, i dont know why i just didnt feel like buying a mag. No real big reason just felt like i wanted DD more.

oh hey man long time no chat, hows life.

Running a W-200, why not run active with the H701 processor?

Seems a waste to go passive when you've got that kind of source.

I could of, and thought about it but, im not sure really... passive is just easier... and the h701 costs more then the crossover...

i dunno im talking to my installer about it... nothing is final final.

So don't buy the passives, scrap the rears, and get an H701 instead should be comparable dollars. Overall your system will finally have the flexibility to be truly a dream system.

Whats soo amazing about no rear fill? and or active or passive?

also if i scrap the rear fill i dont even need the processor the 100.4 can make me active.

Better yet what good does "rear fill" do. Absolutely nothing positive in my book.

As for active, the H701 not only gives you crossovers and time alignment but way more eq than you currently have. To really optimize the installed response of a system it will be extremely helpful.

True..... i dunno never really thought about it....

Nick....just stick to your plan and you'll be happy.

I'm one of the minority who enjoys rear fill, or sound enhancers as I call them. Stage is still up front, but gets louder and at times that's what I like. And NO I'm not spending a ton on a bigger amp/comps for the front. I'm VERY happy with what I have....

///m5 what setup do you have?

also for the record, dream system was kinda geared towards my dreams.

My dream sundown system would consist of 3 - 250.2's and 8 - 1500D's.

Hehe, i dont need something ridiculous.

That is about what mine would be too!

I assume you still haven't heard a really well setup front stage only vehicle then. If you use the same budget with or without the rear spending the extra on the front it will always sound better and if your "better" requires louder that is possible as well.

As for my currently installed drivers the M5 has Seas W18E and the Scan D2904/6000. The truck I am running Seas CA18RNX, LPG 25nfa, and an SS Rlp12". At the moment I am toying with a couple drivers for a different substage in the car (used to have the Rlp) as well as perhaps a complete system change partly driven by my desire to build the Excels into some bookshelves.

get the h701!!!!!!!!!! i was going to do something similar to you until the PPI DCX-730 came up super cheap, so i bought it. lets just say i will be using this in every car i own until it dies. the things you can do with a good processor will FAR outweigh any benefit with rear fill, im not going to argue about that. when i switched to active my rainbows sounded like completly different speakers, and rainbows have exceptionally good passives

even if it does cost you a little more, you can use it in all of your systems in the future and will open many doors when it comes to buying raw drivers.
